Adam Scott: 'Parks and Rec' character Ben Wyatt might make a play for the White House

Why was Ben Wyatt wearing a tux in that flash-forward finale of "Parks and Recreation"? What does Adam Scott think the character might be doing when we see him next? (Hint: Julia Louis-Dreyfus is angling for that job on "Veep.") And why isn't Billy Joel singing the right words to "My Life"? Didn't he learn anything from his appearance on Scott's "The Greatest Event in Television History"?

These questions, and, yes, much, much more were addressed when Scott dropped by The Times' office recently for a live video chat.

Scott says there was a collective gasp at the "Parks" table read for the season finale when it was revealed that the show had moved the action three years into the future. Those triplets that Amy Poehler's character, Leslie Knope, was expecting? They're now toddlers, running around the office with Uncle Andy.

"Amy and I have both had a couple of kids," Scott says, smiling. "We didn't want to go to work and deal with babies all day long. So we were relieved about the three-year jump."

Scott added he's not particularly relishing "Parks" coming to an end.

"It's going to be tough because we're all friends, but we all also feel it's good to finish up while the show is so great," Scott says. "But it's incredibly bittersweet. It's going to be really, really sad."

Despite our best attempts, no tears were in the offing on this day. "Talk to me in November, if you want to see me cry," Scott says. "I probably will."

Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, stars of the breakout Comedy Central series "Broad City," stopped by The Times recently to talk about their phenomenally funny show, which just completed its second season.

If you thought Season 4 of "Game of Thrones" was tough on the bruised and brooding Jon Snow — friends dead, girlfriend dead, White Walkers imminent — things are about to get worse. And for a man still recovering from an attack that included, say it with me, giants on mammoths,...

Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson just finished the second season of their insanely fun and ridiculously awesome Comedy Central series "Broad City" and what better way to celebrate than to visit the Los Angeles Times?
